Funding request templateWhy this qualifies as PD
This isn't just an art resource library. It's professional development.
The Princess Artypants membership supports your implementation of choice-based art — a research-backed teaching approach aligned with the National Core Arts Standards and the 4Cs framework that appears in virtually every school improvement plan:
Critical Thinking: students evaluate options and make decisions about their own creative work
Creativity: students generate original ideas with no single right answer
Communication: students articulate their choices and give meaningful peer feedback
Collaboration: students learn from each other in a structured studio environment
Choice-based art moves students away from teacher-directed, step-by-step projects that require very little higher order thinking — and toward genuine creative problem solving, student agency, and independent learning.
The membership includes:
— 400+ curriculum resources including lesson plans, center materials, posters, and assessment tools
— A professional community of choice-based art educators
— Monthly professional development sessions
— Resources aligned with the National Core Arts Standards
Annual cost: $200 (~$16/month)
We accept purchase orders and provide invoices for school records for our annual plan.
What Teachers Are Saying:
I love having so many process art projects right at my fingertips in this one resource. It has saved me so much time not having to scour Pinterest for ideas.
— Elaine B.
My students loved the open-ended format of these lessons. Many lessons used materials I already had, which was a plus. Just playing with materials was exciting and rewarding for my kids.
— Cheryl N.
These resources was great to have up in my art class as a visual for students. The package included many options which I was able to put up in class and use for art education as a new TAB art teacher.
